I don't think it's so bad considering other composers have created projects for Disney Parks as well: Robert Lopez (Avenue Q) created Finding Nemo the Musical for Disney World and GrooveLily (Striking 12) created Toy Story the Musical for Disney Cruise Lines.

I think it's a great idea. Disney villains are always extremely interesting.

You wont be seeing this on the Wonder, it is only on the Magic right now and will be on the Dream in January. It is a very fun and campy show but not getting great reviews from the blue haired disney crowd.

looks like TONS of fun to me, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were too sophisticated for disney audiences.

Magic! Sorry, I'm confused. I'm sailing on the Magic. (One friend on the Magic, and one on the wonder)

Well, I hope you enjoy the show. The later seating usually has a better audience. Also, don't miss Once Upon A Song, they play it down but it's a very classy review

No disrespect to the creators, but this looks dreadful from the previews. I love the Disney Villains but the 2 shorts on youtube make it look like a bad theme park revue.

I feel like if it were designed way better without the cheap Halloween costume look, it would be a bit nicer to sit through possibly...
